Maricopa's in the middle of nowhere - not even on a major freeway - in the middle of farmland.

No matter who it was, you were greeted warmly. One thing that was consistent here was the extremely friendly and polite staff - wow. Nobody seemed to know what the timeline is for its completion, but it sounded like they have big plans.

We couldn't use the pool because the day before we arrived, they started tearing it up. The bathrooms were beautiful - gorgeous tile and no expense spared on the décor.

Something weird, though - the lights require a room key to be in a slot by the front door in order to come on - I've never seen anything like it. Everything seemed new and in good repair. The room was nicely appointed, including a fridge. There's even a Dunkin Doughnuts! Best of all, the staff at this location are wonderful! Expect nothing less than five-star service, whether you're playing your favorite slot machine, having a meal or enjoying a drink at the pool.We stayed here at the Harrah's property in beautiful Maricopa for a weekend because our friends are 7-star gambling level and could get us free rooms. Harrah's Ak-Chin also offers a myriad of delectable eateries, including the Range Steakhouse, the Buffet, Agave's Restaurant and the Copper Cactus Grill. My favorite of all Caesars properties by far, this welcoming retreat offers a gigantic hot tub and a swim-up bar. It is laid-back yet luxurious, with all of the modern amenities to make your stay memorable.

Plus, there is a big expansion underway, so expect even more thrilling action soon! This property's hotel has a particular charm that is hard to describe. There are over 1,100 slots, table games, bingo, Keno and a WSOP poker room. When you really want to have that feeling of 'getting away from it all', Harrah's Ak-Chin is the ideal place to relax, but also to experience some of the best gaming on the West Coast.
